Watch: Video of Caitlin Clark scoring barrage in Iowa practice goes viral
Iowa Hawkeyes fans and others have likely heard of Clark's apparent 22-point barrage in 2 minutes during a scrimmage against Iowa's gray squad, a practice team consisting of male students. There's now video to back up what Clark has mentioned before, and it's just as incredible as it sounded.

Clark hoisted 3-pointer after 3-pointer, some from nearly halfcourt and others while falling to her left or kicking out a leg in midair.

The video was uncovered on March 22, 2024, but went viral on Tuesday after Barstool Sports' Dave Portnoy shared the clip. "She is the one," Portnoy wrote.
Clark also talked about the scrimmage in a recent interview with David Letterman on Netflix's "My Guest Needs No Introduction," which also brought attention to the performance.

"We were down 15, and we made a couple of 3-pointers to cut it down to 10," Clark said. "I think I had 22 points in like two minutes."
Letterman replied: "22 points in two minutes?"
"Usually, I'm never shocked when I hit a big shot, but after like my fifth 3-pointer in a row, I was like, 'Oh my gosh,'" Clark said. "I couldn't believe it. We ended up winning, and our boy practice players didn't hear the end of it."
Portnoy's repost of the video has over 2.4 million views as of Tuesday afternoon, with another repost of the video from a Clark fan account notching over 2 million, as well.

The 23-year-old guard was a WNBA All-Star in her first professional season after being drafted No. 1 overall. The NCAA's all-time leading scorer won back-to-back national player of the year awards in 2023 and 2024 and was a four-time All-American with the Hawkeyes.
It was recently announced the Indiana Fever will have more nationally televised games than any WNBA team this season, in large part due to Clark's influence. Forty-one of the Fever's 44 games will air on national TV.

Taylor Swift Raves About Boyfriend Travis Kelce's New Movie ‘Happy Gilmore 2': ‘Absolute Must Watch'
Taylor Swift has a new favorite movie, and it just so happens to star one of her favorite people: Travis Kelce. On the day of the Netflix premiere of Happy Gilmore 2 — in which the Kansas City Chiefs tight end appears alongside Adam Sandler — the pop superstar posted her review of the film on her Instagram Story on Friday (July 25). Sharing the film's poster, she wrote that the project 'had me cackling and cheering the whole movie!'

The 14-time Grammy winner added, 'Go watch it on @netflix as soon as humanly possible.' Serving as a sequel to the original Happy Gilmore in 1996, Happy Gilmore 2 reunites Sandler with Julie Bowen and Ben Stiller as they reprise their characters while also adding new faces such as Kelce and Bad Bunny. Just over a week before the new film's premiere, the Grown Ups star touched on bonding with the NFL star on set and praised Kelce's superstar girlfriend, telling Entertainment Tonight, 'Taylor's so damn nice to my family and has always been … and Travis is such a gentle, nice guy.' Swift's praise for Kelce's new acting venture is just the latest time she's showed support for her boyfriend's career, with the 14-time Grammy winner frequently cheering him on at Chiefs games throughout the 2023 and 2024 seasons. She also backed him up at his Tight End University event this past June, surprising Kelce's guests with a performance of 'Shake It Off' one night. '[Taylor] just went out there without practicing, and it was pitch-perfect,' Kelce later gushed on his New Heights podcast. '[She] just killed it.' The Eras Tour headliner isn't the only half of Tayvis that's been active on Instagram lately. One day prior to Swift showing love to Happy Gilmore 2, Kelce shared a number of photos of himself and the singer, giving fans a rare look into their romance.

NBA Legend Doesn't Hold Back About Fever Superstar Caitlin Clark
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Indiana Fever and Caitlin Clark were expected to be WNBA Finals contenders heading into the 2025 season. Unfortunately, Clark has been dealing with a lot during her second campaign. In the 31 games the team has played, Clark has only participated in 13 of them. She has dealt with multiple different injuries throughout the year. Most recently, she has been forced to the sideline due to a groin injury. Clark has missed a lot of time due to the injury and there is no telling when she'll be able to get back on the court. Caitlin Clark #22 of the Indiana Fever celebrates in the fourth quarter against the Phoenix Mercury at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on July 30, 2025 in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Photo byEven when Clark has played, she has struggled to be as impactful as she was during her rookie season. Read more: Fever Superstar Caitlin Clark Again Throws Shot at WNBA Referees Throughout the 13 games she has played this year, Clark has averaged 16.5 points, 8.8 assists, five rebounds, and 1.6 steals, while shooting just 36.7 percent from the floor and 27.9 percent from the three-point line. Obviously, those are not the numbers she was targeting. After being considered a top-tier WNBA MVP candidate at the start of the season, that hype has cooled. Despite the rough second season Clark has gone through, one NBA legend spoke out with strong words to the rest of the league about her. Bob Cousy, who was a star with the Boston Celtics, revealed his opinion about Clark. "It's a saleable product, and Clark's done a really good job selling it. She's exceptional," Cousy said. "She's had a tremendous impact on that league and their earning potential. They should be kissing the ground she walks on, not trying to foul her and get her out of the game." He is 100 percent right about the impact Clark has made on the WNBA. She has taken the league to a level that it never thought possible in such a short amount of time. The interest level in women's basketball around the world is at an all-time high.

Hopefully, Clark is able to get back to full health and play basketball again this season. The WNBA simply isn't the same without her on the court. Only time will tell, but fans are anxiously awaiting her return for the Fever. Make sure to follow Newsweek Sports for all Indiana Fever and WNBA news and updates.

‘Wednesday' S2: Who Is the Mystery Woman at the End of Part 1?
Wednesday season two part one has finally arrived on Netflix and while it has answered a lot of questions, such as who is Wednesday's stalker, it's also left us with some very pressing queries—namely, who is the mystery woman at the end of part one? During the fourth episode, Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) uncovers a secret operation taking part in Willow Hill. It's called LOIS and was set up by one of the former teachers of Nevermore Academy and now run by his daughter Judi Spannegel (Heather Matarazzo). Wednesday, along with the ever reliable Uncle Fester (Fred Armisen), head down the basement of Willow Hill, where they discover Judi has been keeping a number of Outcasts prisoners in order to conduct test on them and transfer their powers to Normies. Wednesday and Uncle Fester liberate the prisoners, and there's one woman who intrigues Wednesday and for whom she makes a special effort to escort out. Given the significance of these scenes it's likely this unknown woman is going to be a bigger characters in the next part of season two. But who is she? Here's all the theories we have so far. Throughout the season, Wednesday's Aunt Ophelia is mentioned a lot. She's the sister of Morticia and is a massive point of contention between Wednesday and her mother. As the season progresses we come to understand that Ophelia has been missing for the past 20 years and she shares a lot of similarities to Wednesday, including their shared psychic ability. Morticia frequently points out that just like her aunt, Wednesday is struggling to master her skills and Morticia is worried this could lead to the problems and breakdown that her sister faced. When the sisters were younger Ophelia pushed her psychic abilities too far and produced the same black tears Wednesday does and so her mother Hester (Joanna Lumley) sent her away to Willow Hill. But while the family assumes she is missing, could it be that she's actually been in the basement of Willow Hill all this time? There's a lot of clues to suggest so. Firstly, she's been missing for two decades. Maybe she hasn't been missing at all but in fact been kept prisoner, which is why she's never been seen or communicated with the family. We also know for sure that she was a patient at Willow Hill, with Uncle Fester also confessing to Wednesday Morticia had once asked him to break her out. However, he never did. Given how much emphasis the show has put on Aunt Ophelia as a character, the most likely explanation is she is the one who Wednesday finds and looks after at the end of season two part one. Another person some fans are theorizing the mystery woman is in fact Tyler's mother. During season one we learnt that Tyler (who is also a hyde) is the son of the Detective Galpin and Francoise Galpin, who was an outcast and a hyde. After giving birth to Tyler, Francoise went onto have postpartum depression which led to her hyde being released, and she was then locked up in Willow Hill. We're told that she then died in Willow Hill. However, now fans are theorizing that maybe she's more alive than previously thought. It's a very plausible theory given how much Detective Galpin was investigating LOIS. Perhaps he was suspicious of what happened to his wife all those years ago, and then when he got close to the truth that's why he was killed off by Judi and her crows. The series also puts a lot of emphasis on Tyler rejecting Miss Thornhill as a mother figure, with one of the final scenes between them being when Tyler says to her: 'You're not my mother, you're my master,' and maybe this is to open up the chance to reunite Tyler with his mother. There's also a small possibility that the mystery woman is neither of the characters, and is simply a red herring meant to throw the audience off. However, with everything being so intentionally thought out in Wednesday, we're doubtful she's a character who doesn't hold some significance to the overall plot. Wednesday season 2 part 1 is available on Netflix right now.
